Lovely!

I actually like the first one better. I like blurriness. I'd like to see an even longer, more blurry exposure even. Very interesting stuff and it's something that's a bit new/rare so more interesting for that.

Spectacular is an understatement!

Mostly camera raw adjustment brush to paint a couple/three different exposures for different areas. A touch of extra clarity and saturation in some areas and a little contrast tweaking. Then into photoshop and a high pass sharpen and that's it! Took about twenty-odd minutes but I was...

A bit of a fiddle in camera raw - added a blue grad filter to the sky, altered exposure in the sky and the lake with a couple of adjustment brush bits and pieces. Also boosted the clarity setting and the saturation setting. Then into photoshop and a touch of high pass sharpening, added a...

Went for a dreamy, summer 1970's/80s postcard-y type feel. I used colour efex pro and it basically did all the work. It's a clever old program but I'm not so used to it yet to get anything spectacular out of it. I did adjust the image a bit for clarity and various levels in camera raw...

Bit dodgy but I was rushing. A bit in camera raw - clarity and so forth, then in photoshop added a purple-ish gradient and reduced the opacity to 20%. A little dodging on the back of the car, a little straightening of the horizon, the odd bit of cloning to get rid of a couple of details...

I thought it'd suit black and white. Fiddled in camera raw, brought up the clarity etc Taken into photoshop and used the selection tool to bring up the roof a bit, then tried to thicken the shadows on the walkway a little bit with a levels adjustment layer, flattened down and high pass...

Not too much done! Some adjustments in camera raw - bit of added clarity. Then in photoshop a quick selection round the band and a hue/saturation adjustment layer on the background to desaturate it a bit and seperate it from the band. then invert the selection and punch up the contrast and...

Poo! I did not realise this - sorry chaps. I will have a go tomorrow morning and plop it up here. I've had a go in camera raw - added a grad filter there, adjusted the clarity, the exposure and a few other things then into photoshop where I did a little high pass sharpening, adjusted the...

Well, they're all very good work and very interesting to look at from someone who knows the pic quite well but I'm going to plump for symmetricalOCD's very moody black and white one. To generalise about all the edits, it's absolutely amazing what people can come up with. And a bit of distance...

It's the one on bran sands or the gare in Redcar in the north east. But it's the steelworks up here so I guess they must look the same.

I did a whole set of beach/industry shots on a GF3 with a 28mm Vivitar manual lens. It had a couple or three graduated filters to keep the sky etc in so this might be the reason for weirdness, maybe? Or there was gunk/sand/muck on the filters or lens. I'm far too amateurish to always have a...

Thanks! Not sure if there's much fun to be had with this shot but let battle commence! https://www.dropbox.com/s/hdrwnbdxe979nnc/_1030667.RW2 should be the link to a dodgy raw file. And if we're having a quicker turnaround how does a Tuesday teatime deadline sound?

Excellent tutorial and technique. And the creating an action out of it guide is well useful as well!
